…a dog
Because I think I was one in my past life
Just signed my first deal but it won't be the last time
Put fire in the booth then I…
…to reflect
That goes for all my young offenders living life in the ends
I think God went wrong and put a mind in our chest
And our hearts inside…
I'm saying this twice
‘Cos life has made me mad, the old me left and he ain't been back
Said I'd rather get jumped by eighteen man…
…[Verse 1]
It was only a matter of time before I smacked em with the rhyme
Plus I come a long way from tryna clap em with the…
…nine
We was young and we was dumb little bastards tryna shine
O.G. war stories we were captured by the crimes
It was nothing haphazard…
…on to our destiny and never look behind us
[Chorus x 4]
They say real recognise real
Ill recognise ill
All my life I exercised skill
[Verse 3…
…[Rapper Big Pooh]
Yeah, it's Rapper, it's 9th Wonder, hah
I'm seeing life in my rear view mirror
And I recognise that people do…
…as a fad, now a great situation
I ain't had a job since '03
But the music business is more than you see
We made a bit of magic when we did…
…it really love that we shared as a crew?
Cause love ain't something you say, you do
It was all fun when we were all young
And we were all…
…[Rapper Big Pooh]
Yeah, it's Rapper, it's 9th Wonder, hah
I'm seeing life in my rear view mirror
And I recognise that people do…

I ain't had a job since '03

We made a bit of magic when we did…
…it really love that we shared as a crew?
Cause love ain't something you say, you do
It was all fun when we were all young
And we were all…
…night he killed me then run, at the same time, the same place, the same way as John, all I can say is when I woke up I was pissed I…
…back right now I done alright but certain man still wanna dumb out and dumb my life, I don't deal with hype it's real passion, I've…
…mean that little prick is gonna bang because he told ya, the real recognise it's only real when it's over
(Chorus)
Yo it's too…

Real young boss
Bruddah I'm hungry, so please don't floss
If I want…
…black yutes
[Verse 6: Jaykae]
'Cause I was the best man when D2 got married
A pallbearer when Depz got carried
And right now I'm…
…yeah blud I got the Derby man petrified
Violate me, I won't let it slide
Anyone going through is getting rectified
And it's real…
…hear the sirens
When they stopped me, I was dazed, I had to lie to em
He never had a criminal record
Neither should've I have done that sh*t, for the…
…*ggas and the bud in the Marley
You know the swag's dumb, gotta keep it retarded
I tell a pus*y boy that I don't wanna talk…
…her, Nocturnal and Sullivan
Blue jacket, chipped tooth
I was the best then, I'm the best now
I know exactly how to convince you…
…hear the sirens
When they stopped me, I was dazed, I had to lie to em
He never had a criminal record
Neither should've I have done that shit, for the…
…niggas and the bud in the Marley
You know the swag's dumb, gotta keep it retarded
I tell a pussy boy that I don't wanna talk…
…her, Nocturnal and Sullivan
Blue jacket, chipped tooth
I was the best then, I'm the best now
I know exactly how to convince you…
…my head's saying one thing my neck's in a harness
Hand on my heart when I handle the bars
Not a threat you're out of your depth…
…people like me and you that need true shit
Too legit to quit, too sick to stall
When I was Mr. E, didn't miss a bar
Didn't…
…?"
It's time to take the blame for actions i have made
Accept responsibility and quit being afraid
Coz that ain't what no man does…

…a pessimist, pathetic pricks, I'm just a realist
Were born to die so crawl inside I'll show you what the deal is
I don't a need a deal…
…to your face that I think your pathetic bro
Cause real recognise real, & all I see is strangers
Just a bunch of try hards, tryna make…
…continued to evolve
Until I can see the world in binary code
Try comprehending it, your mind will explode
And…
…if you tell them you got hit by a door
But young woman
The pimp see's you as nothing but a dumb hooker
Medical attention could…
…medical advice, you make up
A little lie to say just
In case the doc opens his eyes and don't decide to play dumb
With any luck…
…you'll see the same dude who stiched your top lip
Last year when your pimp just lost it
He wouldn't recognise you if you stared him in the…
